LAHORE: Multan Sultans suffered a major blow as pacer Shahnawaz Dahani will likely be ruled out of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) after he suffered a finger fracture.A spokesperson for the franchise confirmed that the young pacer was hit on the finger during yesterday’s match against Lahore Qalandars — which the Shaheen Shah Afridi-led side won by one run at the Multan Cricket Stadium.
The Sultans could replace the pacer with West Indies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite, according to sources.
The 24-year-old pacer has bagged 55 wickets in 41 T20 matches over the course of his career and is considered an important part of Sultans’ bowling attack.
The next match of the Mohammad Rizwan-led side in the ongoing tournament is against Quetta Gladiators on Wednesday (February 15) in Multan.
Karachi Kings will face Peshawar Zalmi in the second match of PSL 8, today (Tuesday).
